Take on the Knicks

I have checked my magic-8 ball and the answer is NO!!!!
 

The problem with the sports is three folds:

·         There is no such thing as a team-game anymore, as much as everybody complains that this has to do with the selfishness of the players, just as much can be contributed to the fact that today's sports leagues are set up to feature a single player.   Between free-agency, sneaker contracts, in-season trades and hand-shake agreements to make mega-teams, there is just no place left for team.   Yeah they may be making a business decision but sports have to be more than that, it has to be about representing and playing for something for meaningful

·         There are just way too many teams.   Most sports could contract tomorrow and nobody would notice.. well somebody would notice because there would be less bad teams and thus more competitive games.   Guys who don't deserve roster spots woulnd't get them.     Honestly the NBA, MLB and probably the NHL although I wouldn't know could really benefit from contraction.   I love the concept of the Premier League where the worst team gets thrown to the minors for a few years.   That will stop these teams from tanking games in a heart-beat

·         Money.
